Hit up a record store I rarely go to today; this was playing while I was there, and pretty soon I knew I had to get it. This is hipsters playing old-school Dennis Coffey-style funk/RnB with a dash of Breakestra and spaghetti western soundtrack thrown in for good measure. Coolest surprise: side two ends with a loop of guttural sax in the playout groove, so it catches on the warbling low notes and repeats until you turn off your turntable.

in August of 1965, #DelShannon teamed with legendary #Motown session guitarist #DennisCoffey (who later became a #breakbeat collectors fave) to record one of the loudest records of the era. Fueled by the changing rock scene in the mid-60s, Del lets Coffey off the chain with powerful #protopunk riffs paired with Del’s breathless wail. Definitely Del’s hardest record ever pressed & this UK press has an even more powerful mix (plus it isn’t on crappy styrene, like the Amy release). Please enjoy this ear-bleeding dancer. . . #SoulNightBaltimore #sysbmore #45rpm #1stFriday #charmcity #baltimorecity #nowspinning #onmyturntable #vinylcollection #recordcollection #vinylcommunity #goodmorning #butfirstcoffee #instagood #positivevibes #legend #icon #music #instahifi #vinylcollectionpost #vinylporn #cratedigging #cratedigger #humpday #musicroom (at Lithuanian Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVA-zNepure/?utm_medium=tumblr

Did somebody say giveaway?? I think @beatuprecords did! So here’s one of my more distressed albums, although it plays quite well through the crackle. My brother had Dennis Coffey’s Scorpio on a single and I became obsessed (I am a Scorpio, after all!) so when I started buying records of my own, I was keeping an eye out for that song. When I spotted this album in 1980 or 81, I flipped it over, saw Scorpio was on it and bought it without hesitating. Turned out the whole album was fab and I’ve been a Coffey fan ever since. Imagine my surprise years later when I dropped the needle on Public Enemy’s first album and heard that unmistakeable guitar grind from Getting It On! #denniscoffey #sussexrecords #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylgeek #vinylcollector #vinylcollection #records #vinylchallenge #vinylcommunity #beatuprecords https://www.instagram.com/p/COgmrBsA9FG/?igshid=82o18dcj58d9
